Two corpses lain long past lament; this death
Lust will counter; we seek dumb intercourse.
Ossified hands will pick the downward, coarse,
route of our yearnings, compel our dry breath,
Together, lips agrin their bloody breadth,
Til from them 'scapes a protestation hoarse;
"Still we love!" we must incant; ever force
Desire from dry bones - at our heads a wreath.
"And pray to never understand". We must
not know life, for to know is not to love.
Our withered kin must come away with us,
Together, rapine; we frolic in dust,
Entwined arms drawing down the wreath above,
To beflower our dark sarcophagus.

Now *I* want a cheese sandwich. Here's to decaying bodies entwined in a dusty kiss. They'd want pickle in their sarnie.

I have absolutely no clever comment to make, and no criticism to offer. I'm quite sure you know how remarkably good this is.

Why is poetry always so bloody depressing?
Here is a much better poem!
Dogs are kinda good
so is beer
Halle Berry has nice boobs
Id like to stick it in her rear.
Now THATS poetry!

Oh yes please Apullo - Vacherin Mont d'Or baguette with a nice Puligny-Montrachet will be splendid.

Hats off, this is good. Very well written. I expect it won't get the final rating it deserves.

'Ossified' means 'turned to bone'. Thanks for the comments people.
